He had Gulbis on a string. Just toying with him. Then the hotdog took over. Two playful volleys, the second when Gulbis was sitting on his ass after a fall behind the baseline and well outside the alley. Two problems: (1) the second volley was supposed to 2 hop Gulbis and land on his face (who knows what Tsonga was thinking).

Instead, because Tsonga floated the volley in the corner of the court where Gulbis went down (rather that, say, anywhere else), Gulbis got up and won the point. Tsonga was laughing when the ball passed him.

If it's a matter of player safety, we could see a change. Raonic ended his season a couple of years back with a slip and Monfils won't play. Too dangerous for him. Ferrer rolled around like Azarenka twice. I'd like to know why the 3 retired today. Oprandi was crying clutching her hand. I don't know if she broke a fall. An unusual injury.

It's just too damn dangerous to run side to side and change direction. It happens every year now-Wimbledon's dirty little secret. If they have a special formula to favor grass court players, they might as well return it to a surface that favors (specialists).

(2) That point gave Gulbis set point. And Gulbis took the 2nd set.

What an idiot...

He didn't think Gulbis would get up and get to the ball, he got burned on that one.

All England Club compelled to respond to all the falls, releases a statement:

"Nothing here..."

Seriously, ESPN is giving more updates on falls and injuries than match updates. It's like, "Let's check in with Sharapova, she fell twice. Here she is falling down. Okay, back to our match. Tsonga looks like he's ready to retire..."

Interesting, All-England Club says they don't have a restriction on length of "nub" on the bottom of the shoes. It seems no one was aware of that. I hope players come out with cleats tomorrow. Tear that s**t up.
